Aims
This website is aimed at young mini polo players and their teachers
or coaches.
Some players may be exploring mini polo as part of the National
Plan for Teaching Swimming (2007). These players will already have
a solid foundation of swimming strokes and skills, which can be
adapted and extended for water polo. Often they may be taught by
swimming teachers, who may have minimal experience of water polo.
Other players may be taking part in mini polo alongside a learn
to swim scheme. Mini polo is often a way into the water for some
children. For these players, adaptions may be required to allow
for shallow water and rudimentary stroke technique.
It is our intention that stroke and skill descriptions should follow
national guidelines for core skills. Any gaps are filled in using
our own experiences or those of people using this site. Some coaches
may teach different variations of these strokes and skills. We have
provided a discussion forum where these matters can be aired.
